It seems animal activism runs in the family in the case of Kim Basinger, whose daughter Ireland Baldwin recently took part in a nude PETA anti-fur campaign much like the one her mother did back in the nineties. The model also opened up about a special anti-fur clause in her modelling contracts.

In 1994, Kim Basinger removed her clothes and posed in a sensational black and white shot for PETA, which was captioned: 'Beauty is not about wearing someone else's coat'. Now her 22-year-old daughter with ex-husband Alec Baldwin is doing the same thing for the organisation's ongoing 'I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur' campaign.

The ’30 Rock’ star is already father to daughters Carmen Baldwin and Ireland Baldwin.

Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria Baldwin are celebrating the birth of their first son, named Rafael Thomas Baldwin. The couple, who are parents to 22 month old daughter Carmen, announced they were expecting their second child in January, as well as revealing the baby’s sex.

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have welcomed their first son.

Little Rafael’s birth was announced on Instagram by Hilaria on Wednesday morning, when she shared a pic of the newborn's hand holding hers. "We are happy to announce the birth of Rafael Thomas Baldwin,” Hilaria captioned the pic. The same image was shared by Alec on his Twitter account soon after.

The 19 year old checked herself into rehab on Monday, saying she’s suffering deep “emotional trauma.”

Ireland Baldwin reportedly split from her girlfriend, rapper Angel Haze, before checking herself into a Malibu rehab center on Monday. The 19 year old daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger revealed she had entered rehab on Twitter, saying that she needed time away to deal with some ‘emotional trauma’.

Ireland checked herself into rehab earlier this week.

However a source told the New York Post’s Page Six that the split form Haze was not the reason Ireland checked herself into Malibu’s Soba Recovery Center, saying it was instead “due to a variety of pressures in her life.”

Alec Baldwin's in trouble again. But how does his recent outburst fare against some of his previous Baldwin-esque escapades?

We keep trying to stick up for Alec Baldwin, but dude just keeps fluffing it up! Baldwin was arrested on Tuesday for riding his bicycle the wrong direction down a one-way street in New York City. Sounds sensible. On top of that (and probably our favourite part), he was doing so while behaving “in a violent, threatening manner” toward the police.

There’s no report of Baldwin being under the influence while behaving in this particularly odd manner (also it was 10am in the morning), so we can assume that his thought process was thus: “I AM ALEC BALDWIN.” By imagining that’s pretty much all that he ever thinks in a repetitive and forcefully self-assured manner is how we regularly accept his Baldwin-esque behaviour.

The blossoming friendship between Ireland Baldwin and Angel Haze seems to be heating up.

So, it turns out that her split from Slater Trout (real name, cruel parents) has turned Ireland Baldwin into a lesbian. Or at least she’s bisexual now, which is sort of the trendy thing. Just ask Amber Heard, Megan Fox, Anna Paquin, Evan Rachel Wood and, er, Snooki. But not Jessie J (let’s not go there).

Ireland and Angel have been getting closer over the past few weeks

18 year old Ireland has been spending a lot of time lately with Detroit-born rapper Angel Haze and the pair seem to be getting very close. In the latest of their series of semi-erotic Instagram posts, Ireland has posted an image of her and Angel sharing a pretty passionate looking kiss. Angel, who is four years older than Ireland, also shared the pic, with the caption, “I spent all my time waiting for flowers to bloom, and now that the darkness is gone, I’m growing my garden with you.” Poetic stuff.

The 19-year-old model is focusing on work and school in the wake of her recent breakup.

Bad news from Ireland Baldwin’s camp – the 18-year-old daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger announced on Thursday that she and boyfriend Slater Trout have parted ways. Baldwin isn’t moping around though. She still has her modeling work and school to keep her occupied, Ireland says.

They almost made it to the first year milestone.

They seemed like a perfect match – a model and a surfer, Baldwin and Trout first started dating back in 2013 and used every available social media outlet to proclaim their love for one another. Apparently they forgot the first rule of social media - never overshare. Ireland is keeping a stiff upper lip though, at least according to her statement for E!

Alec Baldwin hasn't always been painted in such a positive light by the press, but there are definitely reasons to love the critically acclaimed actor.

There’s a lot of Alec Baldwin bashing going round. We’re not claiming that he’s Mr. Lovable, but we do think it’s time to give the guy a break, particularly now that he's announced his plans to retire from public life. He does have some outrageously redeeming features, and while he may not win the Nobel Peace Prize, or become an ambassador for the UN, anytime soon, he’s not simply the ‘bad guy’ that the press would have us all believe that he is.

There are plenty of reasons to love Alex Baldwin

For starters, did you know Alec is a huge supporter of PETA as well as a dedicated animal rights activist? He’s also a manatee fanatic (who isn’t?) and has supported the Save the Manatees club, recording public service announcements for the organization. His dedication to the manatee cause won him a guest role on The Simpsons episode ‘Bonfire of the Manatees’. Along with all his good work protecting the manatees, Alec is also a vegetarian, which means he practices what he preaches - this makes Alec Baldwin a rare gem in this world.

Kim Basinger is a hot 60 years old, and is proving age is nothing but a number by signing her newest modeling contract.

Kim Basinger still has it. The 60-year-old actress has signed an exclusive deal with IMG Models.

The deal will allow the company to help Basinger land sponsorship and spokesperson deals, according to Variety. The move comes in a year where all ages are proving the spokesperson business is no longer just for 20-somethings. Many other stars have signed on for similar deals. Fifty-nine-year-old Jerry Seinfeld works with Acura, 60-year-old Michael Bolton works for Honda and 68-year-old Helen Mirren is acting as a spokesperson for Marks and Spencer, a British retailer.

Ireland Baldwin protects her father: but can amends be made for such hurtful words?

Alec Baldwin's daughter, Ireland, has defended her father for hurling a stream of homophobic about at a paparazzo last week. Baldwin has received a torrent of criticism and has even had his chat show, Up Late With Alec Baldwin, suspended after he allegedly called a pursuing photographer a "c**k-s***ing f*g."

Ireland Baldwin tweeted her support for her father, writing "My dad is far from a homophobe or a racist," as well as "We all say things we don't mean. We all say things we can't take back," she tweeted. "What my dad said was WRONG. What my dad felt WASN'T."

Ireland Baldwin's cover for Luxury Beach Magazine represents her first since being signed as a model.

In the same week that Alec Baldwin exploded at a British tabloid journalist on Twitter, his daughter Ireland Baldwin's cover for Modern Luxury Beach magazine hit shelves around the world. The 17-year-old 6-foot 2-inch aspiring model posed for a classy shoot by photographer Justin Jay - she carries a surfboard, she rides a bike, she smiles.

Baldwin had previously made headlines after signing with IMG Models and Two Management, two of the biggest companies in the business and home to the likes of Kate Moss, Tya Banks and Chanel Iman. Alec's daughter has plenty of jobs lined up too, including a spread in the September issue of Elle magazine which she shot earlier this month. During a recent appearance on Entertainment Tonight, Ireland said her parents are extremely proud of her blossoming career, especially former model mother Kim Basinger.
